Barb, knowlege is power and theres a lot of experience on this forum it looks like. When my fiance returns home tommorrow I will ask her for some more info about this. She is a doctor in training and was unanimously agreed to be the best intern in her whole hospital in the 2 out of 2 sections shes worked in so far. Id take the advice I read earlier in this forum though, take some painkiller and lie down. Since you´re in Cali maybe you can get your doctor to prescribe you some of those "herbal" pain killers Ive been reading about.

I'm not in California, and if it is the "herbal painkiller" I think you are referring to, they are not legal there any more than they are in South Carolina. I have never tried that and prefer to stick to my Hydrocodone.

oops! guess i should learn how to read...........as far as the other thing goes im with you! Things are illegal for a reason right? Was just trying to lighten the mood a little but but i guess i failed. I wonder what shoe leather tastes like (putting my foot in my mouth).

I know that things will get better for you, Barbs...........please think twice about walking.......have you checked with your doctor's office about this first........I'd sure hate to see you have a setback due to exercise........unless they say it's okay

You were fine! You actually did lighten my mood.

Babe and expat, don't worry, I'm definitely not overdoing anything. I have gotten way more sleep lately than ever before. I am about to go to bed now (you know what I mean! I'm already in bed, but I will go to sleep soon), but I will sleep nice and late. And when I said I might try to walk tomorrow, I meant into the living room or kitchen. I know I can't do more than that right now. It was really painful just walking the 5 steps to the bathroom a couple hours ago. I took my pain pill and got right back to bed. My schedule for anti-biotics has been 9:00 a.m. and 9 p.m. for the one, and 9:00 a.m., 3:00 p.m., 9:00 p.m., and 3:00 a.m. for the other. I have been taking a Hydrocodone at the same time. So, again, no overdoing going on here. I don't want to make this last any longer than it has to, and I don't want to cause it to come back.
